Hi Sally

I was in a local store trying to use a couple of pink vouchers up, but the assistant muddled the transaction up somehow. I'm nearly 99% certain that I paid £2 twice, but I let it go. When she finally sorted the till out, I spotted a survey reeling out ....and she kept it! :rotfl: I wouldn't mind but I'd never have said anything bad about her lol

She was prob just afraid that you'd say she messed up. Some of the comments on these surveys can be embarrassing as a print out of them go up on the wall in the staff area for everyone to read...a positive one and a negative one. I had a lady say something along the lines of "Orlaith helped me make the most of my £5 voucher and was very cheery in doing so, it was quite obvious that she was delighted to have served me" I don't know if that is sarcasm or not tho lol.

I was just wondering if there is anyone on here from Belfast? I feel quite lonely as I don't think there is lol.

Just skipped past the 23 pages since I last came on here yesterday! So may be duplicating...

I went to all my local Boots today in a last ditch attempt to get me a couple of GWP before the highlighter voucher runs out.

I wanted the Cocooning body balm (decided to stock up!) Highlighter + GWP.
But had a quick look around the store whilst there!! Have found out that only the large stores sell the cocooning body balm!


Westfields - have no Highlighters left!!!! Nice No7 SA told me they are in high demand at the moment so get regular stocks in so may have some tomorrow.

Also saw some of the reduced S+G sets (with mask and body puff shower sponge thing) and the Accessorize Hat boxes.

Wyvern - Also had reduced Hat boxes... not sure about the S&G lots of Highlighters and Jan/Feb magazines.

BOT - Don't remember seeing any S+G or Hatboxes. Lots of highlighters. No Jan/Feb Mags. Did have some reduced Botanics/sanctuary items. But were on the normal shelves Mainly foot soak items..so I wasn't interested.
Also had posters up saying that the P+P Mothersday gift set is SOLD OUT!!

Wyvern were so late getting their mags I'm not surprised they have a lot left LOL

Newark had loads of the old mags left today too (and highlighters), they also had some S&G sets and Accessories Hat boxes.

At another store I went to today, they had the highlight powder on the clearance section marked at £5 - I didn't buy any lol

Hmm... I'll be 34 in a couple of weeks. Does that count?

Does anyone know of a shop near Waterloo station that has the Soap and Glory sets, please? Or the hatboxes?
None of either in my local store, but I have to go to the Waterloo area on Monday and Tuesday next week.

I feel a sample send out comin' on! I always manage to grab TONS of mags, so will happily do this when they're out. I shall just do my Robin Hood Boots trip again!

I don't know, but I wasquite miffed anyway, they had some foundation that I paid £11 something for (well £5 off that with the voucher), reduced to £5, so I would have got that free with the voucher instead of having to pay towards it.

I've still got one voucher left as I'm undecided whether to get Hand Saviour, i-brush or mens something or other. Nearly bought the reduced foundation, but talked myself out of it, because I've got enough foundation to last me till goodness knows when anyway.
